In keeping with his family heritage, Plato was destined for the political life. But the Peloponnesian War, which began a couple...

Question 4: What are Platothoughts on Education and the State?
“The perfect society will occur only when kings become... philosophers or philosophers are made kings.”(Plato)
“The object of education is to turn the eye which the soul already possesses to the light. The whole function of education is not to put knowledge into the soul, but to bring out the best things that are latent in the soul, and to do so by directing it to the right objects. The problem of education, then, is to give it...

The History of EconomicThought vs. The History of Economics
For those who have had... little experience with economics in general, it may be easy to assume that the history of economicthought is simply the history of economics. However, this is not the case. While the two subjects are undoubtedly connected, they are also very different. The key to understanding the difference between the history of economics and economicthought is to define the two separately and then look at how they interact...

Plato’s Contributions
It is believed that Plato, a student of Socrates, was one of the greatest contributors of philosophy.... Proof of Plato's notoriety in the world of philosophy can be clearly seen with his dialogues and his renowned student Aristotle. Plato’s writings are in the form of dialogues, with Socrates as the principal speaker. With his theory of Forms, he had discussed a wide range of metaphysical and ethical questions while finding inherent connections between the two. Plato also considered...

Aristotle and economicthought:
Aristotle’s Politics forms a synthesis of his research findings and lecture notes on the... political regimes of the Aegean. The first chapters of Book One open with a discussion of the basic hierarchical and other differences between the superior art of politics and oikonomike, the more instrumental art of household management. Chapters 8–11 offer a penetrating discourse on the stages of transition from the natural and familial practice of the household economy,...

an expression of character whereby the poet (using dialogue) and the actor (in a dramatic presentation) imitate a character. Furthermore, where that... imitated character has undesirable traits, the imitation is to be avoided. And later, in Book X, Plato claims that most poetry of necessity contains evil men (in order to produce interest and pleasure), and this too forms a basis for a wide-ranging condemnation of poetry.
That imitation has harmful effects is a complex matter; Plato’s argument rests...

In order for Plato to create his idea of a perfect society, he makes the argument that censorship is essential for the benefit of the society... as a whole. Though his idea opposes the fundamental beliefs of his audience, Plato creates a rhetorical strategy that disputes the case in which there must be censorship within the Republic. Plato also argues that monitoring what the children are exposed to will ultimately benefit not only the children, but the entire Republic. In order for Plato to get his audience...

Wisdom and Ignorance Are They Synonyms?
In The Apology, by Plato, Socrates explains who he is and what kind of life he lived; he also... identified himself with being wise and having a gift of wisdom. The title though is a bit misleading; it is not to be confused with "apologizing" or "being sorry" for one's actions. It is, Socrates attempt to defend himself and his conduct--certainly not to apologize for it. Socrates used different images or ways to describe wisdom, and that came off as being ignorant...
